Concrete Foundation - Spread Footings, Point Loads, Plumbers In + Out #3 

I loving that you are explaining everything,

Thank God these videos exist I just started framing and I used to do concrete so it's cool to learn a lot about each thing

It’s great listening to you man! You come so far so fast! Keep on Learning & I see a great future for you! Stay safe!👌👍🏻

Fascinating to see how these type of foundations are done in different countries. Using timber to build houses causes completely different load characteristics on a footing than using block/brick. Thanks for the video. 👍

I’m a CM major, your videos always help me visualize and see what I’m learning and class and are super helpful for me. Keep doing what you’re doing!!

i'm loving this build series!!! that was a really good explanation of a spread footing with plan snap shots at the end of the video.

Good seeing you back in action buddy. Stay safe.

Enjoy watching a builder that knows what he’s doing and takes the time to share with viewers. Awesome job

Good detailed videos. Good luck on the build.

happy to see a new build. greetings from Berlin. Keep up the great work, video and carpentry!

You're a great speaker, and these videos are interesting as hell! Thanks for the info, bro!

Excited 🙌🏼

I like your channel looks like y’all know what your doing, keep up the good work.

I'm hooked. Excited for the next video already!

Good stuff man! Coming together nicely! 🤘😁🤘

GREAT VIDEO Matt.....excellent work 👏 👍 👌

It's a complete mess at ground level, but when you see the drone shot, it's pure beauty.

Good stuff to the very end.

Can’t wait to see the finished product

In Colorado 30% across the board. Rough framing materials is about $25 a sq ft and additional $4 to get through the roof on a typical build. But we have 1st level floor systems not slab on grade. Bang On!!!👊

Just moved on to battery powered makita... world of a difference. Especially during trusses and out lookers

Hey man. Gotta say, your building work is awesome and the way you explain stuff if very easily understood. Wished we used more timber frame in the UK. All the best 👌🏻

Thanks I’m a superintendent for Lennar construction I love your videos keep up the hard work

here in Eastern Canada metal studs are the being used for many reno's (Basement etc) as they are costing the same as a 2x4 "used" to be. I just did a house build and the lumber costs were about 50% higher than the previous year.

excellent work

great videos love you're work keep it up brother. 🚀

Great information presented well. Subscribed.

Just started the video but I like the Subtle GME reference you put in the intro

Patiently awaiting part 4

Hello Matt. A lot of work goes in the ground before the concrete is poured. Very cold here in southern Maine today. 50mph winds bringing the temp down to -20° . COLD burr. Enjoy the day. Ray L

Nice job brother I’m a CEMENTERO from Los Angeles looking good bro

11:44 peekaboo lol! Great video bro im always learning from you!

Good stuff Boss

Great videooo

Good stuff enjoying

Have been using a 6" piece for footings by itself always dropping it, will definitely be adding 9" piece to top from now on.

Love the instrumental

I love construction so how I explain it is is I like how they build buildings and they work on stuff and I get everything good and ready to go

Very talented young man building america thank you

Should sub grade it first then dig the size footing, that way you don’t have to use to much form, only form the outside perimeter, easier to put all your footing rebar. Finally put in your 6” base, then pour the footing and slabs same time 👍

February 2020 I was paying $16.95/sheet for 7/16” Zip System, currently the same store it’s $45.85 per sheet. SPF framing lumber is double. NE Florida.

Great master

God do I enjoy living out in the country in Texas. When I built a new place I went to the County, paid them $250 bucks for the permit, and that was it. No inspections, no restrictions, no insane rules. They just told me good luck and enjoy my new home. They came out after it was done to see what I built and decided how much my property taxes went up. I did have to have the septic system approved and inspected by that’s a state mandated program. I already had a well and electricity on the property. Easy as that.

Bravo 🎊🎉🍾

I think I learn more on your videos than I did in schools.

Lumber prices are crazy here in the Netherlands too. We’re lucky that our lumber supplier takes good care of us since we’ve always gotten all our lumber there. But shit. Some folks can’t even get lumber. And that sucks for everyone...

15:29 The neighbors power service needs to be reconnected and gotten out of the way. Can't have power lines reachable from roof or windows.

In my area of south Texas we’re seeing an average of 25% to 30% increase in material cost, and in some cases more than 40% increases depending on types or materials! There’s not much if any discounts in material cost these days and you can bet these prices will remain high, and even get higher with the restricted energy industry, etc.

Matt you should look into getting the cordless duplex framing gun from metabo hpt for your form work

yesssss

I work at a lumber mill up in BC Canada, prices have gone up to 70% from what I'm hearing

Idk about every plumber but the ones where I'm at don't ever bother trying to look out for framing when they are doing their underground work. All of the issues that you mentioned other than the tie down location would have been other trade issues. But I get what you mean. You found a problem. Might as well have it fixed now before it's a pain in the ass later after the footings are poured. I try to do the same if I catch something when I come into work after other trades

Lumber prices inched over $1,000 per 1,000 board feet, according to Random Length Lumber Futures for March. That’s double the price from just three months ago.

With the demand for new homes and custom homes I could easily see the price go up 15-30% depending on area.

I’m building my house... prices have jumped by 100%. Because of material increase, stuff I was going to sub out I have decided to do myself.

I would say a 30% increase and how much more weight can a point load take on versus the rest of the house which is considered to b a non point load? What factors go behind dictating a point load? Dude love the videos am seeing this stuff really for the first time. Cheers!

Matt is the terminology for a sheer wall is it a load bearing wall, lumber prices probably about 60%

Oh yeah, been looking forward to another video! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

From January to now it when in Florida 35% up gas is going up so I guess everything is gonna go up now except salary

Those power lines are going to make pouring concrete interesting to say the least. Do you plan to use a pumper truck and boom?

Probably a 30-35% increase for lumber. We’re seeing 35-40% higher in CO

I don't know about your region but a flammable pipe in a party wall? The base of stack cleanouts? I personally would pipe it differently but ten plumbers do 12 things.

What schedule are you using on the PVC? Can you use HDPE instead?

up here in TX we have seen like 40% with 70% on sheet

With the price of lumber going up would form panels be a cheaper option?

Are you going to explain what you were installing @ 9:28 in this video, in episode 4?

How did you learn how to build all of the buildings? Did you go to school for it?

Dude can you tell me why my walls are cracking. My back door used to swing wide open but now it won't pass the second opening. Help !

I was Gunna ask about the hammer then boom spilt in half I’ll pass I think😂

For those who might have a tough time visualizing the difference between uniform loads vs. point loads (also known as concentrated loads), picture this: You’re sitting in a classroom with a bunch of students, and the teacher is standing at the front of the room with this huge 12 foot long beam sitting on the floor in front of him. The beam weighs 2000 pounds. The teacher asks for 6 volunteers from the class to come up and pick up the beam. So, 6 burly lumberjacks mosey up front and spread themselves out evenly and pick up the beam. Each lumberjack is now carrying 333.33 pounds (uniform load). The lunch bell rings and the 4 middle lumberjacks run out from under the beam to get to the cafeteria so they can be first in line for lunch. The 2 lumberjacks who are left standing, one at each end of the beam, are now each carrying a 1000 pound point load. Got it? Lol

Why dont you use steel stakes? Here in Arizona thats what we use and occasionally wooden stakes

Didn't realize Adam Driver is building footings now :D

Material cost increase on this project.. +$10,000.00 in 2 months (+25%)

👍

Ssshhhooow... 4 G's for the win!

what’s the difference between a post, column and pilaster?

Hey mat, ive been building for a while now and see you guys still use handnails for your forming, I highly recommend using screws for forms and anchor bolts, makes for a much cleaner tear down, rather than pulling your hammer out and dealing with alot of movement whilst driving the nail. Just my opinion tho! Bang on fellas

In my neck of the woods, commodity OSB went from under $10 a sheet to over $30 a sheet. That’s 300%.

25%

Those screws You put with the metal bracket. the code allows you to weld to the rod ?

Bill 42% increased from december till now. In holland only 7%. Increase A lot off lumber is imported in to the usa from europe

Just a 4x8 1/2 cdx want from $16 up to $35 a pc up in jersey

I’d say probably 15k for lumber increases. Not sure what you were paying before covid but I’m sure it’s way more now

How many sqft will the building be?

30% I'm in the process of getting a home built. I signed the contract 2 months before the price of lumber increased per my framer

This seeems like a lot more work than what I’m used to seeing But looking good

Are prices still going up or have they.. .. Please reply.

Probably around 25k extra in material?

What is the hammer u are using?

Matt you should see what lumber & concrete is for NYC! I had trouble getting a decent price before, forget about it now! All the plywood was used boarding up Manhattan which is a ghost town now. Looks like a nuclear bomb went off. Way worse than 9/11. Entire city has changed. 800,000+ vacant apartments!

Love the videos. Wish you were in Southern California so you can bid on my home addition

Are you passing the lumber increase on to the client or is there enough built into the original quote to absorb it?

Framing question for you when you nail the bottom plate you are supposed to use galvanized nails can you use those on the top of the wall with the top plate as well?

Once the concrete is poured, what do you do with the footing material? Do you reuse it on another job?

👍👍👍👍

6:02 - Fox!

Back to the big blue Vaughan?

25% increase

41 % increase

75% increase.
